The subsequent successful careers of his sons may be partially due to his
Yankee work ethic, which is illustrated by a story which appeared in Money
in September of 1973:

Returning home from Harvard, elated about his good grades, his son David
hurried over to tell his father, who was working in the vegetable garden.
Dr. Babson "listened with obvious approval. Then he said, 'That's fine
son. But you've been home ten minutes now, and you still don't have your
overalls on.'"

were as follows:

His daughter, Elizabeth (Babson) Tieken, sent the following biographical
sketch of her father:

When he was 18 he left home and went to work at the Columbian Exposition
in Chicago demonstrating the nickelodeon. This experience was the start
of his association with Thomas Edson and he later marketed the Edison phonograph.
After that he went to Victor Talking Machine and sold $100,000 worth of
phonographs on a trip he made in 1903 to China. In 1906 he formed a company
which was to become Babson Bros. and brought his brothers Fred and Gustavus
from Seward to run the company with him. This company sold not only phonographs
but also Burlington watches, tailor-made clothing and finally the Melotte
Cream Separator. This latter product marked the beginning of a line of dairy
equipment which later became the sole product of the company.

He was an ardent sailor. In 1936 he commisioned from Philip Rhodes a 68
foot yawl Maruffa, which he raced on the Great Lakes until World War II.
In 1954 he had Mr. Rhodes design a 77 foot yawl called Maaroufa, which he
sailed until he was 85 years old. In 1933 he went to Egypt and imported
five Egytian mares and one stallion and was president of the Arabian Horse
Club Registry of America from 1949 thru 1958. He had architect Louis Sullivan
design his home in Riverside, at a time when Sullivan was considered avant
garde, but who later gained worldwide recognition.

2334 He was mentioned when the estate
of Sanford Edwin Babson (184) went through probate; Sanford's will, dated
1 December 1920, requested that his brother, Henry Blake become trustee
of his estate which was to be for the benefit of his widow and children.
His widow later requested that Annie P. Alling administer his estate in
Essex County, Massachusetts.2335

He was Fred was Vice-President of Babson Bros. in Chicago. He brought
to the company a deep interest in dairying and through his purebred Guernsey
cows, a fine testing ground was established for the development of the Surge
milking machines.

Possessing a fine character and persuasive personality, Fred had an unusual
talent for bringing out the best in people with whom he worked. His death
in 1935 was a great loss to the company and to the dairy industry as a whole.2336

He was Sanford grew up at Seward Nebraska and after his marriage he moved
to Chicago, living in the Riverside section of the city. He was associated
with his brothers in the family business Babson Brothers. Details of this
business appear under his brother, above. In about 1909 he moved to Southern
California where he was engaged in the automobile finance business in Los
Angeles. He owned property in central and southern California and unfortunately
was in poor health for several years prior to his death.2339

Sanford's will, dated 1 December 1920, requested that his brother, Henry
Blake become trustee of his estate which was to be for the benefit of his
widow and children. His widow later requested that Annie P. Alling administer
his estate in Essex County, Massachusetts.2340

the Wausaukee Club of Wausaukee, Wisconsin. He was a shire horsebreeder
and his main interests were golfing, fishing, ranching and farming. The
youngest of the three Babson brothers, Gustavus was an astute and highly
respected business man. His efforts were originally centered on the clothing
aspect of the business. He contributed greatly to the "Babson Team"
until his sudden death after a trip to Mexico.2341,2342

he died at the age of 93.2343

George attended the University of Nebraska, the Colorado School of Mines,
and Columbia University. In 1909 he was graduated from McGill University
at Montreal, Canada as a mining engineer.

George related in a letter written in 1977 that in 1909 he went to Chicago
where all his brothers were in business. His brother Henry was interested
in mining at Joplin, Missouri and had gone there:

On leaving Joplin and returning to Chicago a friend of my brother Henry
got me a job with the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company at Columbus, Ohio. After
two or three years there Henry arranged for me to go to New York City where
Babson Bros. was in partnership with Thomas Edison in two businesses, the
Phonograph Corporation of Manhattan, which distributed the Edison Phonograph
and records and a retail store on 5th Avenue. We had a 5-story building
across from the Library and on the ground floor there was a concert hall
and we advertised in the New York papers "Tone Tests" which were
given three days a week. We had the artists perform with their records to
prove that the record was a perfect reproduction of the artist. My oldest
brother, Henry, thought I could do better in a business they were interested
in, in Canada, and I moved to Winnepeg where I lived for about ten years
.... Our business in Canada was wholesale selling to dealers throughout
Canada. Then my oldest brother thought I could do better ... distributing
the Surge Milking Machine ... so I moved to Syracuse [New York] in 1931.
We were

quite succesful in the milking business ... I belong to the Onodaga Golf
and Country Club, the Century Club, the University Club and the Rotary Club.

Selma 'Glen' Talbot was born on 30 Aug 1863 at Syracuse, Otoe
Co., NE.2344 She died on 1 May 1958 at Natick,
MA, at age 94.2345

Paul received his B.A. in Business Administration from the University of
Nebraska in 1917, having played tenor drum for all four years in the University
Marching Band. He held honorary degrees from Boston University, Babson College
and Springfield College and was a Trustee of the latter two.

During World War I Paul served as a pilot with the Army Air Corps. Following
their marriage, Paul and Edith lived for several years at Oak Park, Illinois.
In 1923 they came East and he became President of Babson Park Company. He
was an early associate of Willard M. Kiplinger, who wrote the Kiplinger
Letter in Washington, D.C., for which Mr. Babson conducted the mail order
sales. From 1924 until 1961 he was President and Director of the United
Business Company, a Boston based investment advisory firm. Under the name
Paul Talbot he wrote a weekly article on the back page of their publication
which was called "The Back Yard."

Paul was Chairman of the Board of Standard and Poor's following the merger
of Poor's Publishing Company of Babson Park with Standard Statistics Company

Ellen F. Stearns was born on 19 Oct 1850 at Newburyport.2351 She died on 31 Oct 1929 at Gloucester
at age 79.2352

Children of Nathaniel9 Babson (129) and Ellen F. Stearns
all born at Gloucester were as follows:

i. Roger Ward10
Babson (188); born 6 Jul 1875;2353 married
Grace Margaret Knight,
daughter of Rev. Richard Knight and Jane
Milk Cummings, 29 Mar 1900 at Grace's sister's home, 34 School Street, Gloucester.
Her father, a Congregational Clergyman, was born at Kingston-on-Hull, England
and her mother at Morgan, Orleans County, Vermont. Roger and Grace first met
in grammar school at Gloucester before her family moved west to Minnesota.
After she graduated from High School at St. Paul, Minnesota, Grace returned
east and attended Mt. Holyoke College. As Mr. Babson wrote in his autobiography,
he was attracted to Grace because "instead of telling me how wonderful
she was, she let me tell her how wonderful I was;"2354,2355

After Grace died, Roger married
secondly married Nona Margaret Dougherty 1 Jun 1957
at Wellesley Her father had been born in Ireland and her mother at Bangor,
Penobscot County, Maine. Nona graduated with honors from the Massachusetts
General Hospital of Nursing and served as Treasurer and Director of Babson's
Reports for more than twenty-five years; died 5 Mar 1967 at Lake Wales,
Polk Co., FL, at age 91; buried at Babson College, Wellesley Hills, MA.

Roger graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1898 and
received LL.D.'s from the University of Florida in 1927, Elon College in
1937, Hendrix College in 1938, American Theological Seminary in 1939, LebanonValley
College in 1940, and Stetson University in 1940. He was a Fellow of the
Royal Statistical Society of London.

An internationally known statistician, Roger was the founder of Babson's
Statistical Organization, Babson Park, Massachusetts in 1904; Babson Reports,
Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts in 1904; Babson Institute, which became known
as Babson College on 25 April 1969, located at Babson Park, Wellesley in
1919. In 1927 he founded with his wife Grace Webber College, located at
Babson Park, Florida. He also founded Utopia College, now Midwest Institute,
at Eureka, Kansas in 1946; The Open Church Foundation at Gloucester in 1947;
Gravity Research Foundation, New Boston, New Hampshire, 1948.

The author of more than forty books on economic and social problems, the
most widely read of Roger's books being Business Barometers, published
in eight editions and its successor Business Barometers for Profits,
Security, Income, which ran to ten editions. In addition to a newspaper
column, which commanded 16 million readers, he also wrote hundreds of magazine
and newspaper articles. A poplular lecturer on business and financial trends,
he attracted attention wherever he went, his piercing blue eyes and dignified,
straight posture easily distinguishing him.

Roger was active as an executive, director and investor in the affairs
of many corporations, particularly relating to the protection of property,
including a number of corporations traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
during a business career spanning more than sixty years. He was a pioneer
in establishing services which provide investment advice to the individual
investor (Babson's Reports being the oldest investment advisory company
in America) and was a controlling factor in the affairs of leading financial
publications.

Basing his economic theories on the law formulated by the 17th century
physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, that for every action there must be an equal
and opposite reaction, Roger predicted the 1929 stock market crash about
one month before it occured. Crediting Newton for this success in the stock
market, Mr. Babson became interested in the study of gravity and in 1948
established the Gravity Research Foundation, which was located in New Boston,
New Hampshire from 1949 to 1973. The primary purpose of the foundation is
to stimulate interest in gravity and to accomplish this, the foundation
offers awards for the best essays on the subject, which are judged by three
of the country's leading physicists. The second prize winner in 1975 was
Julian Schwinger, a Nobel laureate.

Another foundation which Mr. Babson established was the Open Church Foundation.
This evolved from his having found great solace one day in 1940 when he
meditated at St. John's Episcopal Church on Middle Street, Gloucester. Having
found the solution to his problem through prayer in a church whose doors
were open, he felt many other people could be similarly helped if they also
had a quiet place to communicate with God. An article published in the Gloucester
Daily Times about 1977 pointed out that because of the changing times
it is not possible today for most of the 17,000 churches which were once
open to remain so, but George M. Rideout, foundation president, was quoted
at the time, explaining, "It's not so important that doors be open,
but rather the gospel of Jesus Christ be open." Today the foundation
distributes thousands of pamphlets around the world through chaplains in
the Armed Forces, as well as to private citizens. As Roger often said, "Since
we cannot personally visit thousands of churches, the mailman must be our
missionary."

The national administrative offices of both of these foundations are now
located in Gloucester at 58 Middle Street, Roger's boyhood home. On the
window sill of Rogers's third floor bedroom, in this gambrel-roofed home,
can still be seen his initials "R.W.B." which he carved as a boy.

His autobiography, Actions and Reactions, reveals that he was a
deeply sensitive man. He described in a tender manner the last time he saw
his younger sister, Edith Low, before her death. She had given him all her
savings ($2.00) as he was leaving for the World's Fair in Chicago and had
said she loved him. He wrote,

I shall never forget that morning. It is things like this ... which really
influence our lives ... I have learned that the world is not ruled by figures,
but by feelings ... The greatest force is love and the greatest asset is
friendship."

ii. Child Babson; born 21 Jun
1877 stillborn.

iii. Edith Low Babson; born 15
Mar 1880;2356 died 26 Aug 1893 at Gloucester
at age 13 from accidental drowning.2357

Her straw hat is among the memorabilia in the Babson Room at the Isaac
Newton Library, Babson College.

iv. Alice Stearns Babson; born
20 Mar 1884;2358 married Dr. William Stewart Whittemore, son of William R. Whittemore and Isabella Stewart,
14 Apr 1910 at Gloucester;2359 died 14 May 1967 at Framingham
at age 83.2360

Alice went to Bradford Academy, now Bradford Junior Collge, and for many
years was active with the Alumni Association, including a time as President.

After her husband's death, Mrs. Alling returned to Gloucester where she did
an admirable job of raising her three fatherless children.

Sanford's will, dated 1 December 1920, requested that his brother, Henry Blake
become trustee of his estate which was to be for the benefit of his widow and
children. His widow later requested that Annie P. Alling administer his estate
in Essex County, Massachusetts.2363
